Thanks for the info. I missed that earlier in the forums. Considering that it has taken me six tries to get into the forums to see if there was a response, it's no wonder that I missed it earlier

Do you know if there are plans to bring it back? If they aren't planning on returning the view counts, they should delete that whole section from the page, IMHO.
I know I probably sound cranky, but geez Louise, the performance issues are getting very frustrating.
